What is ectropion? Ectropion is an abnormality of the eyelids in which the lower eyelid rolls outward or is everted. This causes the lower eyelids to appear droopy. Ectropion exposes the delicate conjunctival tissues that line the inner surface of the eyelids and cover the eyeball, causing drying of the tissues, resulting in conjunctivitis.
They are not cancerous or pre-cancerous. In fact, they line the inside of the cervical hole in all women. So an ectropion simply means that the columnar cells are around the outside of the hole as well as inside it. It seems that cells on the cervix become columnar when there is a lot of the hormone oestrogen around.Therefore ectropion is most common in women on the contraceptive pill and during pregnancy. So ectropion is perfectly normal, and nothing to worry about. It does not affect fertility, and does not become cancerous.However, the columnar cells are more fragile than the flat cells, so an ectropion may bleed after intercourse. If this is troublesome, it can be treated by heat cautery or by freezing. After treatment, flat cells grow over to heal the area.t does not affect fertility, and does not become cancerous.
